{Motivation}

Sometimes all we need is a little motivation. It's quite handy that Miss Kate's name covers all of the basic school subjects.Arithmetic is obvious: that would be math. Voyages? That's how we sneak in history and geography. English is pretty basic, too, with reading, writing, spelling and such all falling into that category. "Recreation" represents pleasant play time, and "Yes, Mommy!" is a reminder to do it all cheerfully. Each task completed comes with a sweet little candy. So far, so good.

Got me to wondering how much housework I could get done if I used my own name filled with M&Ms.

Hmmm . . . let's see . . .

Just keep folding that laundry.Under the table? Yeah. Really should sweep that.Lift up that toilet seat, grab the brush, and start scrubbin'.In case the family gets hungry, have a menu planned.After feeding all those people, do the dishes.Need to get groceries now that they've eaten.Need to keep on folding that laundry, too.After doing these chores all day long, do them again.

On second thought, I might need something a bit more motivating than an M&M.

My heart is happiest when surrounded by my husband, Jamie, and our four children, Drew, Bethie, Aidan and Avery Kate. Each day we experience together what it means to love and give. Some days we get it, some days we don't. Either way, the Lord is faithfully at work in this family. And so we praise Him.

Let nothing ever set your heart beating so mightily as love to Him. Let this ambition fire your soul; be this the foundation of every enterprise upon which you enter, and this your sustaining motive whenever your zeal would grow chill; make God your only object.~C.H. Spurgeon
